In the tropics, Hurricane Larry is bringing dangerous rip currents and rough surf to the Lesser Antilles.  At 5 am, Larry was located near 18.8 North, 49.0 West, about 1350 miles southeast of Bermuda.  Maximum sustained winds were 120 miles per hour, and Larry was moving northwest at 14 miles per hour.  Swells from Larry will create a rip current risk in much of the western Atlantic this week.

Elsewhere, the trough located over southern Mexico continues to bring rain to the region.  While this system has virtually no chance of becoming a depression this weekend, some development is possible as it makes its way in the central Gulf of Mexico and in the direction of the northern Gulf coast.
